Why I don't like open carry

[Hush]

Because seemingly everyone that practices it carries a POS gun in an even bigger POS holster. Like the at the NH Wal-Mart carrying a Sigma in an Uncle Mikes holster. Why, why, why. It really wouldn't bother me if it was a decent gun in a decent holster, but it reinforces my belief that people who open carry in urban/suburban environments are asshats looking for attention, or deemed unsuitable for a concealed permit.
I get it, its a personal choice, I just choose not to give up my advantage of surprise, and carry my gun in a flimsy Velcro holster that a relatively weak man or strong child could easily yank off my belt.

whoa boy, here we go.

If you don't like open carry, then don't do it. And are you serious that you'd have no problem with OC if it were a high-end pistol in a $200 holster? C'mon.

Guy in my area who open carrys because he was turned down for a concealed permit. One of the only ones the chief has ever shot down.
Attention is not always positive.

Someone who uses a crappy holster, isn't suitable for a concealed weapons permit??? WTH???

How many user names is Treischl going to come up with. WTH.

No shit. Wow. LOL.

OP Who are you to say what someone should carry? And just to please your eye? Are you mad at people that also drive cars that aren't the same make as yours? I give this rant : whiny bitch / 5*

Hey...I like my Sigma. Especially since I can cram 18 rnds into it.

 

[TBalls]

Dis gon be guud.

Yes, a 1911 in a Milt Sparks would get a whistle and a compliment, a high point in a blackhawk nylon holster with built in mag pouch gets an eye roll and friggin retard under my breath. I'm bigoted, I get it.

The Second Amendment protects the First, it's been said.

Thanks for sharing.

BTW, is it still wrong to wear white after Labor Day?

 

[ntomsw]

You really don't want to see Atilla's hello kitty holster he uses for his 1911 then.

So you look at another dudes gun holster combo and judge it like a woman judge's purses or shoes....

Thats gay.

I equate this to fishing a zeebaas on an ugly stick, or driving a chevette with corvette wheels. What difference does it make if it's an expensive set up ?

Open-carry thread. Sweet!

I OC'd my M&P40 in a Galco FLETCH all day yesterday in NH, am I deserving? Even hit a few Walmarts up there....

Hoplophobic homophobia or homophobic hoplophobia?

I think there should be a law that says you have to wear a certain type of holster. That way no one can do anything else. Problem solved.

 

[cbrxx]

Well, you were shopping in the Wal-Mart.

On dudes?

There it is! It lives!

Just one man's opinion, like it or not. Ive been around guns for a while, my opinions are based on my observations and experiences. I have what I feel is a pretty good assessment of what kind of person choses to open carry in certain places, like public in southern NH for example. Seeing guns in junky holsters reinforces that opinion, and seems to be the norm.

My feelings would be vastly different, if I was in say....Arizona. I know there are many reasons to open carry around here, I just can't think of any good ones.

 

[Bill Katt]

That's a SWEET setup. Can we have a group buy on those?

 

[cekim]

On dudes?

Dudes wear skinny jeans? News to me, guess I will have to look.
